OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I got a letter today. I was at work so my husband scanned and emailed it to me. I printed it out, grabbed some tissues and headed outside. He said he is bunking with 91 other guys, the food is pretty good. He also said it's not as hard as he thought but there is yelling. I don't know that he would say it was bad even if it was. He knows how I worry. It was a short letter that was written before breakfast on Sunday. Finally, contact with my son. I feel a good bit of relief
